Chapter 1282 Eavesdropping
Cassel couldn't help but look at Jack again, but he didn't know, even Jack didn't know what the so-called plan was.
"Shangri-La" is now in its expansion period, but it mainly relies on walking on two legs. One leg is naturally the short video app. Now it has compiled a US version of "Little Red Book", named "LumenNote", or "LUNE".
Lumen is the lumen in Chinese, the unit of luminous flux, which means light in Latin, and also has a metaphor that represents wisdom, inspiration and even romance.
This name was what Justin thought of after hearing Jack's idea of the positioning of this APP. Everyone felt it was good. In addition, LUNE symbolizes the moon in French, and can be extended to "brush every night" or "an active community at night".
Hannah and Jiejie also designed different moon patterns for this app as logo, which also made Jack re-recognize the other side of the two girls to a certain extent.
There is another leg that imitates Jack's "Netflight" model in his previous life, using the streaming media business to play various film and television works, and at the same time promotes some film and television works that he has shot himself.
This is the real big deal of spending money. Purchasing IPs and scripts, hiring and cultivating screenwriters, directors and producers are all risky investments.
In contrast, the acquisition of two fashion magazines can only be regarded as an inconspicuous step in this huge layout. It is precisely because of this that when Jack called before, Chris on the other side of the phone was also a little confused. It took him a long time to remember that this was the case.
Of course, this topic is not important. Kassel inserted it in time and brought the topic back to the point. "Then how do you explain that you would appear near the crime scene during the period before and after Ella's death?"
Marcus Conway, who was asked the key question, not only did not show any guilt or complacent expression, but his voice suddenly became louder. "Of course it was because she called me. She called me to see her the night before yesterday."
Everyone couldn't help looking at each other, and this answer surprised everyone. "Why? Didn't she reject you before?" Beckett already had a little bad premonition. This case may be more complicated than they had imagined before. "How do I know? Maybe it's because she was just fired by Miranda. In short, she told me that she had explosive news about "Sky Bridge", the kind that would ruin the entire magazine if it leaked." "What's the news?" Kassel asked quickly.
Marcus Conway's expression seemed a little anxious, "It would be great if I knew, but the problem is that I waited at the entrance of the Broadway coffee shop for two hours and didn't wait for her.
I can even tell you without any hesitation that when I heard the news of her death the next day, I was a little secretly grateful that if I knew the so-called secret, I might have been silenced."
"No, no, no, this doesn't make sense." Beckett's sensible I noticed something was wrong, "We checked Ella's cell phone, and all the phones on the communication record have been confirmed. No strange numbers have been dialed from the time she got off work until the accident in the early morning."
Marcus Conway sneered and took out his cell phone, "I can prove this myself that all calls to my cell phone will be automatically recorded."
As he said that, he found a call record and pressed the play button.
"Hey, this is Ella, I changed my mind, I'm willing to accept your proposal, I discovered some scandals that would be enough to destroy the inside story scandal of "Sky Bridge" and completely destroy this damn magazine.
See you in an hour later at a Broadway coffee shop, and I'm waiting for you there." "OK, I need this recording of yours, including the call number." Beckett saw the other party showing a resistance expression and continued before he objected, "I We are not interested in your so-called commercial espionage, and the purpose is just to capture the murderer who killed Ella. "
"Also." Kassel continued to work hard, "Do you also want to explain the eavesdropping?"
The two people on the other side were confused now. Marcus Conway and the editor-in-chief Golia Robbins looked at each other and saw the same expression on each other's faces.
"What eavesdropping, what are you talking about?" the lawyer asked in confusion. "We found a wiretap in Ella's apartment. Didn't you do it?" Beckett asked.
Before the lawyer speaks, the female editor quickly explained, "Of course not, we can't do anything that breaks the law."
—
"I never knew that the police detective process would be so interesting. No wonder Mr. Kassel stayed in the NYPD Police Station to look for writing inspiration."
After leaving the magazine "Elegant Women", Andy sighed. "I think it's thanks to you. If you weren't there, I think they wouldn't have cooperated so much." Beckett smiled.
Cassel also expressed his agreement, "Yes, I think we have all noticed that the female editor seemed to recognize your identity, so he was eager to clarify himself and the magazine."
"Uh, okay, I thought I was far away from that circle." Andy spread his hands, "I didn't expect that I could still not get rid of the label of 'Miranda Girl'."
Jack smiled and shook his head, "Maybe something has something to do, but I think it shouldn't matter much. The female editor seems to care more about your current identity. A reporter from the New York Times, although he is only an intern, he is still the uncrowned king, right?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The girl suddenly smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, like two beautiful crescent moons, "So that's the case?"
"Of course, but strictly speaking, the reason why she knew that you are now a reporter for the New York Times seems to be because you were Miranda's not long ago. Okay, okay, pretend I didn't say it."
Mr., who likes to tell the truth, took the female detective's elbow and shut his mouth honestly, while Jack and Andy smiled at each other.
Everyone returned to the 12th branch, and the Duo of Hunt was tracking clues about the eavesdropping device. Kassel sat at Beckett's desk as usual and read the information above.
"Okay, Kevin just sent a message confirming that Ella called Marcus Conway using the landline in the apartment. So the key point of the matter is the eavesdropper.
I just checked the map and she told Conway to see him an hour later, but it only takes 20 minutes from her apartment to the coffee shop, which is near the alley where she was killed.
So, when the person who heard the phone call through the eavesdropper, it is likely that the murderer of her murder."
Although the case has become a bit complicated, the clues have been basically sorted out. Beckett wrote and painted on the whiteboard, and finally put a big question mark on the word "eavesdropper".
